Library by the Sea

- Strategy: make Nana Cabana your default lunch on busy beach days to save time and money
Smart Dining Tips (How to Plan Your Meals)
- Budget for dining: rates do not include meals and drinks, so plan your dinners and bar tabs as a separate line item from your room.
- Use Nana Cabana for daytime: it's the simplest option when you're spending the day on Seven Mile Beach and want to stay near the sand.
- Save Ave for a standout evening: it's the best fit for a special dinner or a night you want to feel more elevated.
- Start evenings at Library by the Sea: a cocktail before dinner is an easy way to shape a relaxed night out.
- Plan for families: the resort welcomes guests of all ages, so pick casual venues like Coccoloba and Nana Cabana when you're dining with children.
For a 3-night stay, plan one special dinner at Ave, one social evening at Coccoloba, and one casual beach lunch at Nana Cabana. For 4 to 6 nights, rotate all four venues and return to your favorite once.
